Fundraising can help Erie High School Bands offset costs for instruments, travel, show needs, and student opportunities once the Band Boosters group is more fully established. The methods below reflect strong passive-fundraising models the Erie program could pursue.
RaiseRight is a gift-card fundraising model that can generate support through everyday spending. Families buy participating gift cards for normal purchases, and a portion of each purchase can be credited back to the music program.
King Soopers Community Rewards is another low-friction option Erie could pursue once the Booster structure is ready. Families link their loyalty accounts to the organization, and eligible purchases contribute support without changing how they shop.
If Erie adopts one or both of these models, fundraising proceeds could help with approved program needs such as instrument repair, instructional support, festival fees, travel assistance, uniforms, show materials, or student opportunity costs.
